At the moment, about 46.5 million households in the United States have a cat in the family and after you listen to this podcast episode, that number is sure to grow, at least in the Northland. This surefire spike can all be attributed to Duluth’s most unique coffee shop, a one-of-a-kind cat café located along Superior Street. Wired Whisker opened in 2024 to the delight of cat and coffee lovers everywhere, becoming northern Minnesota’s first and only café of its kind. Wired Whisker is two-fold, a coffee shop when you walk through the doors, offering handcrafted coffee classics, a wide variety of food options with a fun feline twist and even beer, wine and cider options. The other piece of the puzzle is the cat lounge, where for a nominal fee, you can cuddle with cats all seeking their forever home, and maybe find your dream feline in the meantime. Whether you’re looking for a new furry friend or just need a little TLC, Wired Whisker is unlike any other spot in the Zenith City. Come for the coffee, stay for the company in the form of cute cats. No matter what gets you through the door, one thing is certain: you’ll never forget your first time at Wired Whisker. Misha Smith, the FURRRce behind the operation, joins us to share how this cool café came to be.
